Quote by Márai Sándor

English (Source)

The intellectual creative worker needs exactly the same coaching methods, training, health, and exercise regimen as the champion fencer, the show rider, or the powerlifter. You cannot make a trip in seconds from a dull, sordid, unclean lifestyle to the highest human endeavor, the arena of creative spiritual work.

The way of life, the simple and everyday conduct of life, the diet, the environment, the daily routine, all these things determine the quality of a poem or a study.

You cannot talk to God from five to five thirty in the afternoon if you have lived like a pig during the night and day. A greedy, avaricious, or mean lifestyle throws waste into the sea of your work. Constant exercise is necessary to think, and to create you need something else too.

Hungarian

A szellemi alkotó munkásnak pontosan olyan edzési módszerekre, tréningre, egészségügyi és gyakorló rendtartásra van szüksége, mint a bajvívónak, vagy a műlovarnak, vagy az erőművésznek. Lompos, aljas, tisztátalan életmódból nem lehet másodpercekre kirándulni a legmagasabb rendű emberi erőfeszítés, az alkotó szellemi munka porondjára.

Az életmód, az egyszerű és mindennapos magatartás az életben, a táplálkozás, a környezet, a napirend, mindez megszabja egy vers vagy egy tanulmány minőségét is.

Nem beszélgethetsz délután öttől fél hatig Istennel, ha éjjel és napközben úgy éltél, mint egy disznó. A mohó, kapzsi vagy aljas életmód hulladékot dob munkád tengerszemébe is. Állandó gyakorlat kell a gondolkozáshoz; s az alkotáshoz még valami más is.

Romanian

Muncitorul intelectual creativ are nevoie de exact aceleași metode de pregătire, antrenament, sănătate și regim de exerciții ca și campionul de scrimă, sau călărețul de spectacol, sau ridicătorul de forțe. Nu poți face o a călătorie în câteva secunde de la un stil de viață neglijent, sordid, impur la cel mai înalt efort uman, munca spirituală creatoare.

Modul de viață, comportamentul simplu și cotidian al vieții, dieta, mediul, rutina zilnică, toate aceste lucruri determină calitatea unui poem sau a unui studiu.

Nu poți vorbi cu Dumnezeu dupămasa de la cinci la cinci și jumătate dacă ai trăit ca un porc în timpul nopții și al zilei. Un stil de viață lacom, hrăpăreț sau meschin aruncă deșeuri în marea lucrării tale. Exercițiul constant este necesar pentru a gândi; și pentru a crea mai e nevoie de ceva.
